So wait I forgot but why don’t you think Birdo could work as a Yoshi echo? I know she’s in the Mushroom Kingdom II stage but that’s her old sprite form just like how Dedede appears in the back of Dream Land I believe it is also as an old sprite (and Knuckles in Green Hill Zone) so she could theoretically still work as either a fighter or an assist trophy

Echoes so far have been from the same series. Birdo to my knowledge has never been in a Yoshi game so it doesn’t make sense. Yes, you can change some concepts but it just doesn’t make sense from the fact they really aren’t tied together beyond Double Dash.

Today’s Music featured a track from Fire Emblem Heroes! I never thought they would acknowledge it as it is a mobile game and I dont know if it is considered canon. But one thing that crossed my mind was the possibility of having a representative from that game. I know many people dont want any more FE characters, but I think having Sharena as a lance wielder would be great as she is sort of a Main character and wouldnt have a sword.

FE Heroes won’t go beyond music and MAYBE an assist. The game came out in early 2017. Smash’s roster was finalized in late 2015/2016 so any specific characters for FE Heroes probably weren’t known at the time.

Do you think Sakurai got tired of the constant complaining and/or demanding from fans for wanting Ridley that he just decided to put him in?

No, I think he wanted to make fans happy and at least if he could feasibly make him.

Since Diablo III is coming to the Nintendo Switch, would any of the Nephalem characters (Plus Tyrael, Imperius, and even Diablo himself) be in Smash. I don't mean any ill asking this, I thought I'd let you know.

The roster was finalized in late 2015/early 2016 so I doubt Diablo has anything in the game.

The only reason I can see Ribbon Girl not making it in is that the main definition for Echoes is having the same movement properties. But Sakurai might just say “screw it” and put her in anyway.

Chrom is different enough from Roy having a different movement in terms of his up special. To me, an echo is someone heavily based on another character. Trying to figure out the nuances will just lead to disappointment.

Do you think smashdown will allow 2,3,4 player co-op? If it does then that would determine the max roster size. If it is 2,3,4, then the roster would be some multiple of 12. So, the roster could be 72 or 84, realistically speaking. If not, it would be some multiple of 4.

I don’t get why everyone is using a single mode to determine the roster size. Sakurai is basing all his decisions on one mode. My guess is when you get to an uneven number in the end, he will reset the whole board. If you wanted to play the mode and only had 11 players unlocked, what are you supposed to do then, just not play because it isn’t a perfect number? Now maybe it works out perfectly but the concept of Smashdown is not dictating roster.

So there’s something we haven’t really touched on and is the fact that since the Arms characters are most likely DLC, would that mean we could instead get Ribbon girl as an echo fighter of Springman somewhat like a DLC bonus? I would rather have her as an echo than an alt tbh because I like her way more than Springman would want to have her as a full fledged out character in the roster. Maybe their differences involve her having a third jump like in Arms and him having a rage mechanic

Yeah, I have thought Spring Man with a Ribbon Girl echo makes most sense. People might be mad that Spring Man be the representative of ARMS when you have MinMin or Twintelle as they are more unique to Spring Man in the world of ARMS but Spring Man is the face and he is super unique when compared to the fighters in Smash. Your differences between an extra jump and more rage would make sense as the way to differentiate them but the core gameplay should be practically identical otherwise. Likely the same arms even if Ribbon Girl has a different starting set.

I mean yeah they totally could and probably will reveal a character in a general Nintendo direct but my point was more that there seems to be a pattern between Smash announcements even down to release date as the 8th appears to be the general smash day

I don’t think the date really matters, if it did it would be the exact same date.

Odds of Hyrule Warrior alts for the triforce trio? I would really love them for Zelda and ganondorf especially, my favorite designs for them

1%. They aren’t canon but would be a nice to have.

So I noticed something. We got our first confirmation of Smash 5 exactly march 8, then saw it again a little over two months later on a June 12 (close to the 8th). Then again two months after in August 8th... could we potentially be seeing it for the last time before launch on October 8th which is also two months away? The game comes out December 7th (one day prior to the 8th which is Iwata’s bday) and it’ll be two months after October so the pattern would continue

It was just over 3 months between first reveal and E3, not 2. I still hold a reveal during a normal Nintendo Direct of 1-2 characters in September, 3-5 characters shown in a Smash Direct in October and final character reveals in November. They will likely start spacing them out to help keep the community constantly engaged as we lead up.

Who is the darkest cruel Nintendo villain to you?

A quick think gets me to Ridley/Ganon. Both purely are out to destroy the main character in their games in any way they can. Bowser, King Dedede, King K. Rool, Bowser Jr., Meta Knight, Wolf and the others all are either more a rival than a villain or a character while with evil motives never comes off as super menacing due to some quirk about them. Those first two have one job to do and that is absolute rule. It helps they don’t really appear much in spinoffs or as helper characters to give them a softer side we see and can understand.

do you think we could get another character from the yoshi or wario series if there are any eligible fighters? it seems like they are the only ones who are solo as far as franchises go (yes they are mario characters, but they have different icons.) im must thinking of any older main nintendo series that dont have more than one fighter like f-zero would be another one.

Both have people that could possibly work like Kamek for Yoshi or Wario has a whole host of people like 9-Volt as an interesting retro fighter pulling from all the random Nintendo franchises that can’t support alone. Every franchise that was added in Smash 4 though also had one fighter (save for Mii which is its own beast), Animal Crossing, Mega Man, Wii Fit, Punch-Out!!!, Pac-Man, Xenoblade Chronicles, Duck Hunt, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy and Bayonetta. There are many series which could grow like XC with Elma/Rex/Pyra and Street Fighter with a Ken echo and even AC with Isabelle.

Rooftop garden party lady from the switch reveal 4 smash

Karen would be perfect

I probably will be hated on for asking but, is there a Smash-like game you enjoy? Or do you stick to the original?

I have tried Brawlout and it does something things are fun and cool but without a roster of characters beyond 10 characters and clones, it just gets old fast. Plus there were problems when it launched when I unlocked a stage but had no way of picking it. Beyond that, I haven’t really played anything but Smash.

Some of the new items that were shown, were they from a specific series or are they Smash originals?

A combination of both.

Banana Gun - Mario/DK

Killing Edge - Fire Emblem

Bomber - Kirby

Death’s Scythe - Castlevania

Staff - Kid Icarus

Ramblin’ Evil Mushroom - Earthbound

Rage Blaster - Smash

Ha! Bowser represents every good father out there, definitely normal so I guess move over Wii Fit Trainer. I actually really like bowser though I’ve never seen him as “evil” more like mischievous as he’s really sweet on mulltiple ocassions in particular with Bowser Jr and in my headcanon he adopted the Koopalings when they were young so he’s even sweeter

He just wants to give the world (or galaxy) to his kids so they have a good starting point. He even helped Bowser Jr. find his mom. All good fathers are like that.

You know? That actually had me thinking but besides being paper white, the WFT is the most human character in the game and that’s just... absurd to think about. In fact I was doing some research and she (or they) are the only characters with different voices in all languages and have the most voice clips in the entire franchise to reflect that they are basically real life people that make fitness videos. Kinda crazy that she’s weird for being the most normal

You are telling me Bowser is not normal? :P
